Austin worth every penny of extension

ARLINGTON – The Cowboys pulled into a 17-17 tie thanks to a 69-yard scoring toss from Tony Romo to Miles Austin on the third play of the second half.

The pass reception was the longest of Austin’s career and it also underscored why he’s worth every penny of the six-year, $54 million extension Jerry Jones gave him just before the start of the season.

Austin went up high to get the ball between a pair of Titans defensive backs at the Tennessee 47. After making the improbable grab, he run untouched into the end zone.

With the momentum swung to Dallas, Tennessee followed the score with a three-and-out possession.
